(Chemical Equation Presented) An easy and straightforward synthesis of α-amino amides via a base-mediated rearrangement of modified Weinreb amides into N,O-acetals is presented. Subsequent arylation, alkylation, alkenylation, or alkynylation of this intermediate affords the corresponding R-amino amides in excellent yields. Furthermore, a more generalized protocol for the α-arylation of Weinreb amides lacking an R-amino moiety is also discussed.

An efficient and diastereoselective synthesis of α-amino acids from readily available starting materials has been developed. The key feature of this reaction is an umpolung of a glycine-derived enolate, providing an alternative approach for the synthesis of α-amino acids. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2008.
